I'm using an HP Omnibook 800CT. when I boot up RedHat 6.0, everything goes fine until the screen clears and the initial login prompt appears....in order to get any interaction, I must suspend the machine, then unsuspend it. After that, everything works fine. I also noticed the same problem in the installation - when the install finishes with the RPMs, I must suspend/unsuspend in order to be able to continue interactive with the system. I'm assuming it's a problem with the APM, since suspend/unsuspend fixes it...
This smells like the other apmd problems... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 2396 ***
